The Best of Tauranga

The tour was well organized and covered the highlights of the area. The guide was extremely outgoing, funny and knowledgeable. The most interesting part was the Middle Earth part where the Lord of the Rings movies were shot. Bay of Plenty views were magnificent. The guide also gave interesting info about New Zealand. Totally recommend this tour.

We had Doug as our driver/guide who we met at the arranged rendevous point at the correct time. He immediately put us at ease and his knowledge continually surprised us. He kept our interest going and at no time were we bored. We learned lots about NZ history and the economy. The scenery was spectacular and the photo opportunities good.Fish and chips were a treat and we finished our tour with some retail therapy.

A lovely, relaxed way to see the countryside around Tauranga. Well worth the price.

Well organized tour of beautiful beach city. lovely beaches & gorgeous scenery. Outdoor lunch @ Bobby's fish market outstanding. Really fresh fish & homemade fries. Again, all ordered in advance, very little wait & our tour guide even brought ketchup for us as none was provided.

We really enjoyed this tour, full of mixed type of sights. We especially enjoyed the botanical gardens and at the end of the tour, our fish and chips, which were included.

This was a great small group tour. Our guide was fun, informative, & gave good suggestions for other stops to try.

This was a very pleasant excursion. We were taken to a beautiful beach along the lovely coastline. Then to the Honey store where we had the best ice cream. Next to the Kiwi farm to see them growing on their vines. Then up to a viewpoint where we could see our ship in the distance. Finally to the Elm House tour which had a very interesting history.

Best tour guide ever

I loved this Port. The pier is within walking distance of a coastal/holiday shopping centre which has a great vibe. Beautiful scenery. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The tour bus was about a 16 seater, modern and comfortable. We travelled a far distance with some great stops. The kiwi fruit orchid stop was very interesting. Loved this town.
